I got that info from a tale of a music student who played some
of the "easiest" Cage pieces for the performance necessary for
his degree.
He passed of course.

Maybe Cage made that suggestion at some time.

I thought the idea of the piece was to present the incidental sounds
as music...but then Cage does refer to it as "my silent piece".
